There’s a little bit of rock royalty conjured at College Street Musical Hall Saturday, April 13. Sean Lennon is son of Yoko Ono and John Lennon. Les, Claypool, meanwhile, is founder and lead singer of the band Primus.

After a summer tour pairing of Primus with Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (Lennon’s act with Charlotte Kemp Muhl) a while back, Claypool and Lennon began touring as The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Their efforts spawned the full-length release called “Monolith of Phobos” — described as an old-school approach to a psychedelic space rock record — and February’s “South of Reality” on ATO Records.

The latter album was recorded, produced, engineered and mixed by the two of them at Claypool’s Rancho Relaxo studio in Sonoma County, California. The band appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and were interviewed in the New Yorker and Rolling Stone. They’ll play College Street in an all-ages event.
